Central Region of Malta – The Noble and Silent Heart of the Archipelago

The Central Region of Malta is where the nobility of the past meets contemporary elegance. Dominated by the majestic walled city of Mdina, the "Silent City," this area offers an exclusive travel experience among Baroque palaces, secret gardens, and period residences transformed into top-level luxury boutique hotels.

Mdina and Rabat: A Journey into Maltese Aristocracy

Mdina is a perfectly preserved medieval gem. Walking through its silent streets early in the morning allows you to admire the architecture of the Maltese nobles without the crowds. Just outside the walls lies Rabat, famous for St. Paul's Catacombs and the Domus Romana, places that tell of the island's Roman and early Christian roots. In Attard, do not miss the San Anton Gardens, the official residence of the President.

Real Experience: Tea on the Bastions and Starred Dinners

We highly recommend enjoying a slice of chocolate cake on the terrace of Fontanella Tea Garden, from which you can enjoy a view that stretches all the way to the sea. For the evening, luxury reaches its peak with a dinner at The de Mondion restaurant, located above the bastions: the combination of Michelin-starred cuisine and the night panorama is simply unbeatable.

Top 5 Luxury and Historic Hotels

The Xara Palace Relais & Châteaux: The only hotel located inside Mdina, a 17th-century palace of extreme luxury.
Corinthia Palace Malta: Iconic structure in Attard with a rejuvenating spa and private gardens.
Palazzo Bifora: Charming boutique hotel located in Rabat with sophisticated design.
The Phoenicia Malta: Classic elegance at the gates of Valletta (regional border).
The Heritage Boutique: An immersion in Maltese history with modern comforts.

Where to Eat: Michelin Excellence and Tradition

The de Mondion (1 Michelin Star): Refined cuisine above the walls of Mdina.
Root 81: Culinary excellence in Rabat celebrating local products with modern techniques.
Grotto Tavern: Dine in a natural cave in Rabat for an unforgettable experience.
